This week will be a brief set of notes because I might not have access to my computer for a couple days after tonight.
For the ACT Prep portion of the class, we finished Chapter 19, Advanced Reading Skills. Many of the topics we covered are good all-around critical thinking and analytic reading skills that are useful for many types of academic reading.
For the College Essay portion of the class, we discussed the Common Application prompts and then took time to brainstorm possible essay topics. I have also attached a list of essay prompts that came from individual colleges.
Assignments for Next Week
-- Read part 2 of Chapter 19 (p. 286 - 296)
-- Take and score Reading Drill 2
-- Take the Reading Practice Test (p. 450 - 459)
-- Correct the Reading Practice Test (P. 511 - 518)
-- Write a rough draft of a college application essay
Note: We will do peer edits in class next week.
